Abstract

Logistics involves activities from raw materials processing and transport up to delivery of final products to consumers. One of the logistics roles is to ensure the lowest cost of these activities. In the case of Green Logistics (GL) the factor of maximum environmental friendliness is also taken into account. It‘s a present world trend, which can help to many companies, after timely and successful implementation of the GL principles, to obtain a significant competitive advantage in the present globalized and turbulent environment. The potential for effective implementation of the GL principles can be found in many logistics activities. One of the key areas is the industrial company transport. The starting point for successful implementation of GL principles can be Green Logistics Audit (GLA). The aim of the paper is to design the GLA methodology for the area of transport in industrial companies.
